Wellington, New Zealand — Made to Order

Light — shaped
one layer at a time.

Atarau Collective designs and prints original lighting forms — each shade grown from a digital sketch into a finished piece, entirely in-house.

Illuminate with elegance

Made, not manufactured

Every form starts as a blank sketch, not a catalogue page.

We design each shade from first principles in CAD — the silhouette, the wall thickness, the way a surface pattern will catch a bulb's glow — before it's ever printed. No two commissions are required to look alike.

Printed in small batches on a multi-material system here in Wellington, using translucent filaments chosen specifically for how they diffuse light rather than simply how they look on a shelf.

The Collection

Five forms. Endless surface language.

Dome

Tiered silhouette for tables and low-hung fittings.

Bulb

Tall neck, rounded body. A statement single pendant.

Cylinder

Clean lines, ideal for clustered arrangements.

Sphere

Soft, ambient glow for bedrooms and lounges.

Bell

Flared base, built for texture that wraps and folds.

How a piece is made

From sketch to ceiling in three stages.

01

Design

Every form and surface — fluted, faceted, woven, or smooth — is modelled from scratch to suit the space and brief.

02

Print

Grown layer by layer in Wellington on a multi-material printer, in filaments chosen for how they hold light.

03

Deliver

Fitted with standard suspension hardware and finished, ready to hang the day it arrives.

Custom-made, to your brief

Need a light that isn't in any catalogue?

A commission simply means we design and print something to order — sized, shaped, and finished to suit your space — rather than you choosing from what's already made. We work directly with interior designers, architects, and hospitality fit-outs this way.
